The Weranian colonial empire (Weranian: Ostischer Kolonialreich) comprised the overseas colonies, protectorates, concessions and trust territories that came under Weranian rule during the 19th century. The Weranian Empire comprised of four parts - north Bahia, central Bahia, Southeast Coius and Sublustria. The empire covered modern day territories such as Maucha, Yemet, Behera, Nainan, Kuthina, Siamat and Charlotte Island. At its height in 1935 the Weranian Empire ruled over 80 million people across two continents.

The Weranian empire arouse out of the failure of further expansion into Euclea following the War of the Triple Alliance, a rivalry with other colonial powers such as Gaullica, Estmere and Etruria for raw resources and support for the civilising mission. The Weranian empire would as such attempt to spread its language and religion to colonised regions. The empire provided prestige, manpower and raw materials to Werania enabling it to become confirmed as one of the Euclean great powers.

In some places such as southeast Coius Werania relied more on client leaders through protectorates to govern the region whilst in central Bahia it administrated the region in a more centralised manner encouraging settler colonialism. In the creation of the empire the Weranian government used the civilising mission rhetoric to justify often brutal atrocities to native populations.

Following the Great War Werania was awarded former Gaullican colonies as trust territories reaching its greatest territorial zenith. However the empire would soon be caught in a brutal colonial war in central Bahia and following the Kirenian-Weranian War moved towards decolonisation. By the mid 1950s Werania had overseen the majority of former colonies either becoming loosely allied sovereign states or becoming overseas territories of Werania.
